A question mostly for Europeans, i think. (or maybe hooliganism is getting a foot in the US?)

Did you ever feel like molesting a supporter of an opposing sportsteam? And did you actually kick/beat/threaten him?

Please tell me why. Or why not.

I never felt the urge to physically hurt another sportsfan. But it seems normal, especially to some Football (soccer..) fans. In my city, they need shitloads of vans filled with riotpolicemen to hold the hooligans down. Pretty normal people -not the brightest maybe, but pretty normal-, who turn into mindless fighting machines as soon they see an opposing team's colors..

I just don't get the idea behind all the animosity. I like watching a good game and supporting my club. But i just don't feel like kicking the other supporters in the face.

Please share your thoughts about this one..
